Tom: Hey Jane, have you heard about the SSEAYP program for young people?

Jane: No, what is it?

Tom: It's an exchange program where young people from Southeast Asian countries can participate and learn about each other's cultures.

Jane: That sounds interesting. What do you think is the most important skill or experience for SSEAYP participants to have?

Tom: Well, in my opinion, having good teamwork skills is the most important thing. What do you think?

Jane: Hmm, I see your point, but I think the most important skill is being able to speak English fluently. It's the working language of the program and without good English skills, it could be difficult to communicate with the other participants.

Tom: That's a good point, Jane. But I still think that good teamwork skills are essential because participants will need to work together to solve problems and complete tasks during the program.

Jane: I agree with you, Tom. Both English skills and teamwork skills are important for a successful SSEAYP experience.

Tom: Definitely. I think it would be a great opportunity for young people to learn new skills, make new friends, and broaden their horizons.

        To find extreme viewpoints, I need look no further than my own family. My family has members whose opinions vary widely. These opinions often result in interesting conversations, debates, and occasional disagreements at family gatherings. Two contrasting members of my family are my brother and my father. I understand both of them fairly well, but their attempts to understand each other are less successful. My father and my older brother sometimes assume diametrically different viewpoints.

        My brother is artistic and creative while my father is pragmatic and technically minded. One of the more humorous differences between them is their taste in music. My brother is a born musician who loves music with soul. On the other hand, my father is a scientist and listens to Cheo.

        Another often humorous difference between my father and brother is the way they wear their hair. My brother wears his hair down to his shoulders. My father, on the other hand, always gets his hair cut when it begins to touch his collar. When my father was growing up in the sixties, all men wore short hair. However, my brother grew up during the twenties when people were more liberal in the way they dressed. The length of my brother's hair bothers my father.

        Although my brother and father disagree on many things, they manage to get along very well. Both of them are open-minded and can appreciate each other's differences.

- Where on Earth is the most dangerous area to explore: a desert, the polar regions, or the sea?

(Nơi nào trên Trái đất là khu vực nguy hiểm nhất để khám phá: sa mạc, vùng cực hay biển?)

A desert is considered the most dangerous area to explore on Earth due to its extreme conditions. The lack of water and shade, high temperatures during the day, and extremely low temperatures at night can cause dehydration, heatstroke, and hypothermia. Moreover, sandstorms and strong winds can make it difficult to navigate and cause visibility issues. Additionally, deserts are often remote and isolated areas, which means that getting help or rescue can be challenging. All of these factors make the desert a very challenging and dangerous place to explore.

(Sa mạc được coi là khu vực nguy hiểm nhất để khám phá trên Trái đất do điều kiện khắc nghiệt của nó. Việc thiếu nước và bóng râm, nhiệt độ cao vào ban ngày và nhiệt độ cực thấp vào ban đêm có thể gây mất nước, say nắng và hạ thân nhiệt. Ngoài ra, bão cát và gió mạnh có thể gây khó khăn cho việc điều hướng và gây ra các vấn đề về tầm nhìn. Ngoài ra, sa mạc thường là những vùng xa xôi và hẻo lánh, điều đó có nghĩa là việc nhận trợ giúp hoặc giải cứu có thể là một thách thức. Tất cả những yếu tố này làm cho sa mạc trở thành một nơi rất khó khăn và nguy hiểm để khám phá.)

In the cities of the future, there are many things that can help people to live a long and healthy life. However, access to green spaces and parks is arguably the most important. Green spaces can provide people with a place to exercise, relax, and enjoy nature, which can all contribute to improved mental and physical health. They can also help to mitigate the negative effects of pollution and noise, which are common in urban environments. Additionally, green spaces can promote social interaction and community cohesion, which can have positive effects on mental health. Therefore, it is important for future cities to prioritize the creation and maintenance of green spaces and parks to promote the health and well-being of their residents.

Our cultural heritage is a traditional craft that has been passed down from generation to generation in our community. To preserve it, we can organize workshops to teach the craft to younger generations. We can also hold exhibitions and fairs to showcase the craft to a wider audience and sell products made by local artisans. Another idea is to create a digital platform that connects artisans with customers and promotes their work.

Overall, we believe that it's important to involve younger generations in the preservation of cultural heritage and find ways to promote it to a wider audience. By doing so, we can ensure that our traditions and customs continue to thrive and evolve over time.

Di sản văn hóa của chúng tôi là một nghề thủ công truyền thống đã được truyền từ thế hệ này sang thế hệ khác trong cộng đồng của chúng ta. Để bảo tồn nó, chúng ta có thể tổ chức các hội thảo để truyền dạy nghề cho thế hệ trẻ. Chúng ta cũng có thể tổ chức các cuộc triển lãm và hội chợ để giới thiệu nghề thủ công này cho mọi người đối tượng rộng hơn và bán các sản phẩm được làm bởi các nghệ nhân địa phương.Một ý tưởng khác là tạo ra một nền tảng kỹ thuật số kết nối các nghệ nhân với khách hàng và quảng bá công việc của họ.

Nhìn chung, chúng tôi tin rằng điều quan trọng là thu hút các thế hệ trẻ tham gia bảo tồn di sản văn hóa và tìm cách quảng bá di sản đó tới nhiều đối tượng hơn. Bằng cách đó, chúng tôi có thể đảm bảo rằng các truyền thống và phong tục của chúng tôi tiếp tục phát triển và phát triển theo thời gian.
